The most interesting and hotly contested game of ball ever played on the college grounds was that played between the “College Stars” of St. Joseph’s College, and the “Young Americans” of the Indian school. The score was as follows: Innings 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 College Stars.. 4 300 0 0 3—lo Americans 3 0 0 3 0 0 0— 6 The feature of game was the excellent work done by the College Star’s battery. Captain Pfeifer, pitcher of the Stars, struck out eleven men. He was able supported by Catcher Besinger. Other notable plays were, the long run fly catch of Lannen, and also the fly catches of Short-stop Mungovan and Third Baseman Sultzer. Catcher Besinger, won applause for his heavy batting. He made the only home run of the game.

Center Fielder Dividson of the Young Americans deserves credit for his excellent one hand running fly catch.
